RSAR donates $5,500 to Defenders of Freedom

Defenders of Freedom is a local nonprofit organization that builds homes for injured members of the military who are facing physical challenges after returning home following their service to the country. The first recipients of the group's work was Marine Sgt. Thomas B. Humphrey III and his wife, who moved into their new Somersett home in May. The nonprofit will break ground on its next project this coming spring.

Defenders of Freedom Northern Nevada was identified by the Reno/Sparks Association of Realtors as one of its fundraising recipients earlier this year. The association holds various fundraising events throughout the year, including its annual Casino Royale fundraiser. The event draws more than 200 participants.

The Reno/Sparks Association of Realtors represents various real estate professionals in the area.
